Going to buy an electric bike. Budget is 1500. Looking at Halfords, eurocycle and decathlon. But I don't have a clue what the difference is other than the battery claims. One thing I'd like is ease to charge / replace battery if needed. It's for commuting to work. Any advice?
Maybe add a couple of hundred to your budget, which will get you something with Bosch componentry (motor/controller/battery pack), for durability, build quality and ease of dealing with any aftersales issues, if they should arise.
You may have made up your mind already but would consider a DIY e-bike?
You could get something like a trek marlin 5 and then add a aftermarket kit to it. It may not look as good as an e-bike from a manufacturer, but I do feel it is better value for money, especially if you don't want to be limited by the 25 KPH limit.
